    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., you are one of the best debaters I have ever known. You were making a point, but somewhere along the line you started missing the way. If I heard you correctly, and that should be the case objectively, it is important for us to be happy and proud of our athletes across the country. This is important so that we do not trivialise it in terms of who was there and who was not there, because that is not important. I feared that the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader would say that even the Speaker of the Senate was not there. That is not the route we should take. It is important for us to celebrate our national heroes across the country. The other thing, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr., is just to address the concern raised by the Senate Majority Leader. Sen. (Prof.) Kamar was more or less marketing an important product, which I do not think is contentious. On the issue of those who attended, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., it is not right to profile the Kenyans who attended by where they come from. It is not also right, for example, to say that other state officers, including governors and the Deputy President, were there simply because they came from a particular region. Let us just own up to a national issue that we should celebrate our heroes and not use the platform of the Senate to advance trivial agenda. It is so ordered.
